Yet if we can subdue the Romans here,
They shal I think buy Britayne very deare,
Which out of doubt yf you as you haue donne,
Will fight like men, the fielde wil soone be wonne.”

But they who hilde their wiues and children deare,
Could not digest the losse of that their lande,
For which they fledde, left me their chieftayne there,
When Claudius host to fight was euen at hande,
Whose mightie force I could not then withstande,
